      Honda Civic<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      First introduced in 1972, the Honda Civic has gone through many generational changes over the years, but is still known for being one of the most fuel-efficient, reliable, and economical cars on the road. You can\u2019t really go wrong when you purchase a used Civic.<\/p>\n

      The Honda Civic makes it to the #1 spot on so many car lists because of its reliability, fuel economy, and high-quality interior. While some modern features may be missing, a used Civic is a great choice for anyone in the market.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Toyota Camry<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The Camry is one of those no-brainer choices when it comes to buying a reliable used car. With lots of space, crisp handling, and good fuel economy, the Camry makes the car buying experience easy.<\/p>\n

        The LE at the end stands for Luxury Edition and the SE stands for Sports Edition. These two models are similar, but there are some differences. In general, the added LE or SE label adds luxury add-ons such as sportier designs, nicer interiors, improved handling, and more\u00a0electronics.<\/p>\n

          Toyota Corolla<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          While some may complain of its boring interior uninspiring driving experience, the Toyota Corolla gets great safety, comfort, and performance scores. “Boring\u201d means you\u2019ll have plenty of visibility and room, including easy to use climate and audio controls.<\/p>\n

          If you like the Corolla but want a different driving experience, try out the Ford Focus or\u00a0Mazda6.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Mazda3 and Mazda6<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The Mazda3 is a small car with a quality interior and sporty handing. You’ll love the controls as you wind down hills and feel spoiled in an interior that seems too luxurious for its class. With an engine that is both powerful and economical, this car is the complete package for anyone wanting a smooth ride. For those worried about a lot of leg room in the back, you may want to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

            The Mazda6 is a midsize car with some added vroom. With quick and powerful handling, the Mazda6 is a fun car to drive, no question. While it may not be the most fuel efficient car on the list, its attractive interior and exterior make you forget all about it. Both the Mazda3 and Mazda6 are fun, attractive, and comfortable cars that make them feel ritzy for the price.<\/p>\n

In fact, as of 2012, the Focus has outsold the ubiquitous Toyota Corolla globally. While reliability and safety scores are comparable to the Camry and Corolla, some drivers prefer the handling and interior of the Focus.<\/p>\n
